so obviously that's what law enforcement is trying to piece together right now. as we have been reporting all day yesterday, there wasn't any intelligence gathered beforehand that gave anybody any indication that something like this might even be in the air. so i think that, you know, that's got law enforcement kind of scratching its head. >> reporter: indeed. and they're going back, no doubt, over all the information, all the transmissions that happened in the days and weeks before. >> right. >> reporter: jessica, it is interesting. this is a president who often chooses his words extremely carefully on the one hand. it's also a president who famously is no drama obama. he doesn't like unnecessary drama, the lore goes. it may very well be the drama over the use of the word "terror," not using the word it's just not worth the hassle to him. get it out of the way today and move on with the investigation, which is actually the important thing here. >> reporter: i think you're right and i also think, look, he didn't use the word "terror" yesterday i think for a numbe
